my mom had a heating pillow made out of corn kernals....?

it was cloth on outside, filled w/ corn and u heat it up in the microwave for 2 minutes. she used it everyday for awhile, and one day i guess it got too hot and caught on fire!!!

is it possible to make a new one w/ new unpopped popcorn that i buy at stores, or would it have to be a "special" type?

You use regular popcorn. I made mine out of a washcloth with popcorn in it. You can also use rice in them. They are cheap and good to keep around. You can also put them in the freezer to make a cold pack out of.

You need to use field or feed corn. It is sometimes sold as squirrel food, or you can get it at a farm feed store. I have made a bunch of these corn pillows, they are sooo nice. Once heated will stay warm for hours.

Are you doing it for ecological purposes? Or for some miracle to cure neck or back pains? Buckwheat pillows claim to do all and then some. Whats the deal with popcorn pillows?

You have to use field corn. Rice would work too.

They are much better made with wheat.

We call them wheat / heat bags!
